If you know of little known movies that you think are really good, please post them.
During the last couple weeks I unexpectedly ran across three movies I had never heard but turned out be great:
Varsity Blues http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varsity_Blues_%28film%29
This is one of the best sports movies I've seen. It's really realistic and enlightening about sports and American life.
Alone in the Dark http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alone_i...281982_film%29
This movie is a realistic version of the classic "Halloween". It's obvious that was the intention because Donald Pleasence plays exactly the same role he played in Halloween. The difference is that the killers in the movie are shown as being more human rather than complete monsters. Jack Palance and Martin Landau are two of the maniacs and I'd watch any movie with Donald Pleasence, Jack Palance, and Martin Landau but this movie was thought-provoking and shocking especially when you compare it the story of "Halloween" because when that story is told in a realistic way it's a million times more frightening because you realize that those events aren't that far-fetched.
Little Murders http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Murders
This is a movie for thinkers. It's full of insight about the world we live in, the people all around us, and the problems in society. I think it was way ahead of its time.
